"Wow! I never realized the first astronauts were so fat."

Because MNS missed a golden opportunity when he passed on the initial title "Going Down."

God bless The Goon's wackiness.

You're basically half-way to a Venture Bros. villain. Give him a good pop-culture reference for a hook (the more obscure, the better!) and you're in.

I knew what it was as well because it was the same twist as a book I read in middle school. It felt like a straight-up 100% plagiarism.

If anything Volume 2 is even more of the same, but it basically sets Hellboy up as this mythic being which is what he always fought so hard against. But you get a dazzling ending so it is totally worth it.

Eh, it seems like some articles are swinging too far the other way. It reads like he's partly to blame for the nation being in such dire straits that the someone like Trump would be a candidate, much less win the election. Which might be true in some way, but I doubt it was the main factor. It was probably all this…

Well hey, the Metal Gear Solid games had pretty cool robots and robo-ninjas, so bring on the crappy healthcare and nanomachines (son)!

Good luck. FFXIV calls to me every few months and the release of the new expansion isn't helping. That game is such a time-suck and constantly has me asking "Why am I not doing something else?" but it has wormed it's way into my soul. Probably thanks to the nostalgia and killer music.

Baby Park really was the best track for bananas only. I definitely has some rust on my knuckles trying to figure out what the controls were. I also had the distinct impression that a race was thrown in my favor since I arrived a little late to the party.

Same here. I'm resigned to just playing Zelda on the WiiU until either Mario comes out and forces my hand or I make it to 2018 and just buy Zelda all over again.

Eh it was probably real, I wouldn't be too surprised someone was that self-centered to write-in. Dan's inclusion of that letter was pretty much only to highlight his stats. Admonishing an anonymous person in a public forum (when they weren't even asking for advice) is pretty useless in terms of progress. Guess there…

Oddly enough, that show's Japanese name is Ghost in the Shell when you translate it. Who'da thunk it?

Batou's voice actor was pretty good though. I guess that's why he was brought back for the series.

All I remember was that it was the last time the writers got me to care about Marge and Homer's marriage. That video messages she left Homer was pretty weighty for such a light-hearted film. At the very least when they decided to go dramatic with Marge, it tends to hit right on point. I guess it is the benefit of…

That would require an open and nuanced discussion about how the biological and social reality of sexuality on a federal stage and that ain't never gonna happen. It does help highlight exactly who is interested in the public health of reproduction versus those who just want to punish people who have sex (outside their…

Ugh science-hangers-on are the worst. Go work in a scientific field for long enough and you'll wonder how the hell we ever discover or publish anything. Skepticism of novel studies is healthy. Except for mine. Everyone should believe everything I publish, ever.

I finished up FFXV last weekend and since then I've realized the only part of the story that stuck with me is the very beginning of the game (up to about Titan) and the very, very end. The rest was just a blur or felt like a general slog of traveling and side-questing. My most climactic fight was against a…
